EDF 6 M139 M76.5 Air Raider David and Goliaths run Inferno ( Earth Defense Force )

This is the nastiest of the ???? missions in the campaign for the Air Raider. 7 huge enemies all near each other, 2 waves of tadpoles and an Erginus with a flimsy squad of Rangers to "help". And the NPCs have no invincibility ability 😐😑. The mission cries for Tempests and other powerful weapons but you're stuck with the crappy new ones.
There's a ton of luck involved in this mission. Unlike mission 68 where the huge enemies were all clearly apart from each other, here they walk around the same area. You'll need to try to piss one big enemy at a time but you never know if that works beforehand. When the tadpoles are around you never know when they will come, or how many or which ones. Handling more than 1 big enemy is usually a recipe for an early end. Sadly there's no clear strategy for this mission.
So just some advice:
- obviously, try to get 1 big enemy at a time, but perspective can be deceiving
- there are 2 waves of tadpoles, try to get rid of them when they appear, or lower their numbers significantly. Each wave has 2 blue tadpoles. I targeted them with the N1β silent copter [sniper rifle] which isn't easy due to their speed. If you're lucky and get a blue one, at least that one will arrive half-dead. Blue tadpoles are slower and you can get them at a time when they're flying almost alone. You never know what will come as a bonus besides the tadpoles 😐😑
- queen ants are the worst enemies, try to get these alone (luck...)
- obviously too, leave the Erginus for last
- a lot of patience is required, you should wait for the right time to attack big guys and tadpoles
I can't find a stellar mix of weapons for this one. I focused on a loadout to deliver massive damage as possible to big enemies, but be warned that tadpoles can be worse than them. I settled with the level 82 N1β silent copter [sniper rifle] for the initial hit in big enemies and tadpoles, and the level 67 E2β stun copter [current], and level 87 G4γ portable attack machine [cannon]. E2β is dangerous to send earlier because if the enemy that has been hit passes near another one or takes a stroll and returns to the pack it can aggro more enemies. G4γ can deliver massive damage to a big enemy but it's unreliable, and really hard to use against queen bees.
In the backpack your best option is the level 85 Guard/Capsule A4W to help deal with tadpoles and other small stuff. On vehicles you're stuck with the "wonderful" Depth Crawler, the IV is better than the custom for its bigger damage shells.
So much can go wrong on this mission and not much you can do about it. Good luck.
BTW on multiplayer missiles, rockets and explosives are a terrible idea here.
Have fun,

How did you fire the AW4? I've been trying to work it out 😢

Using backpack items for all classes, except Fencer obviously, is done by pressing X on the DS4 by default. Since A4W is a backpack item...
